The lucky little wife dressed as a general

Chapter 160 The Last Minute

Two more days passed.

On this day, Shen Xi had just had breakfast when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from outside the yard.

When she first heard it, Shen Xi was shocked. The war must have started at the doorstep.

However, when the door was opened, Shen Xi's originally wary face immediately put on a smile.

She was surprised and delighted and shouted.

"Husband~"

Shen Xi almost jogged all the way to the gate. Seeing her walking so fast, Mu Sichen hurriedly strode forward to meet her.

Mu Sichen held Shen Xi tightly in his arms with his long arms.

"Why are you running? I don't know how to be careful."

Shen Xi ignored Mu Sichen's "accusation", held his face and kissed him several times.

"Husband, why did you come back? I'm worried to death."

Shen Xi looked up at him, only to find that Mu Sichen's face was full of exhaustion, and his eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Mu Sichen held her hand and said in a steady voice.

"Come in and talk."

Zhou Mo followed Shen Xi and walked out. She walked towards the door and looked outside for a long time. Looking left and right, there was no familiar figure.

Liu Feng followed Mu Sichen. Seeing Zhou Mo like this, he told her directly.

"Fu Dutong is still on the front line and has not returned."

Zhou Mo pursed his lips after hearing this, and his expression suddenly became lonely.

But he still said it stubbornly.

"I...who said I was looking for him."

Zhou Mo sniffed, pretending not to care, and went back to the house.

……

After Mu Sichen entered the house, Shen Xi hurriedly pulled him over and checked him carefully. After making sure that he was not injured, his heart finally fell back into his stomach.

"What's the situation now? How come people from Dongyuan Kingdom come to attack us?"

Mu Sichen did not answer immediately. Instead, he raised his arms and put his arms around Shen Xi's shoulders.

He rested his chin on the top of Shen Xi's head, his eyes flickering on and off.

Shen Xi didn't know what happened to him and didn't dare to ask further.

After a long time, Mu Sichen finally spoke, his voice unhurried.

"Chen Xi, do you want to enter the imperial city?"

After hearing this, Shen Xi immediately became alert. Entering the imperial city?What's the meaning.

Is it to simply enter the imperial city, or...

He wants to be emperor.

Mu Sichen would never joke with her at this time.

This ambiguous statement is probably related to the recent war.

Shen Xi raised his head, distanced himself from Mu Sichen, and asked instead of answering.

"Husband, do you want to?"

Mu Sichen lowered his eyes to look at her and uttered two words from his thin lips.

"I thought about it."

Have you thought about it?Now whether she wants to or not, Shen Xi certainly doesn't want to. She originally chose Mu Sichen just to stay away from the imperial city.

Is it possible that after going around in a circle, we will return to the starting point?
Shen Xi looked at Mu Sichen and shook his head gently, and then said.

"Listen to your husband."

Mu Sichen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Xi's reaction.

Since ancient times, people have longed for the center of power, whether it is men or women.

Mu Sichen was silent for a long time, and without going around in circles, he directly explained the current situation.

"Now, if you abandon Liangzhou, you can enter the imperial city."

Shen Xi's heart sank when he heard this, abandoning Liangzhou?How is it possible? This is Mu Sichen's heart.

Others may not know how much Mu Sichen cares about Liangzhou, but Shen Xi has seen it with his own eyes.

Protecting the land in Liangzhou has always been the most gratifying thing for Mu Sichen.

Shen Xi raised his eyes to look at him and said.

"Then...is there any other way?"

At this time, Mu Sichen took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Shen Xi.

While Shen Xi was watching, Mu Sichen told her about the stakes.

"The reason why the Dongyuan people can easily enter the border now must be due to the emperor's contribution."

This sentence immediately made Shen Xi understand. No wonder so many Dongyuan Kingdom soldiers suddenly appeared in Liangzhou.

If it weren't for the cooperation between inside and outside, it would be impossible to escape the defense line of the western suburbs military camp.

Shen Xi said in a tight voice.

"To deal with you?"

Mu Sichen nodded.

"The queen's uncle is the commander-in-chief of Tengzhou. If he takes action, Liangzhou will be safe."

Of course Shen Xi knew that things would not be that simple.

"What about the price?"

Mu Sichen looked at her and whispered in her ear.

"The queen asked me to ensure that Zhou Zicheng ascends the throne."

Shen Xi felt relieved. Originally, the court was divided into two factions regarding the prince's affairs, and the two factions were fighting without distinction.

If Mu Sichen gets involved, it will naturally change the current situation.

There was silence in the room for two seconds before Mu Sichen said again.

"Liangzhou is in turmoil and the people are in dire straits."

Having said this, Mu Sichen pressed his forehead tiredly.

"Tengzhou sends troops and they will arrive tomorrow."

Shen Xi knew that this was his decision, and it was a two-way transaction.

She knew that Mu Sichen had deployed many people in the capital, and all of them were elite soldiers and generals.

Tengzhou sent troops to assist Liangzhou, and Mu Sichen's people in the capital would be used by the queen.

Shen Xi was still a little worried, "What about after that?"

Mu Sichen sighed and said in a rather relaxed tone.

"If it succeeds, you and I can stay here in Liangzhou for our retirement."

Shen Xi was very entangled in his heart, subverting the imperial power? Although this sentence is easy to say, the hardships and dangers involved are probably unimaginable.

Her lips moved.

"when are we leaving."

Mu Sichen replied.

"If it's settled, we'll leave tomorrow. Fu Cheng will be guarding Liangzhou."

Shen Xi buried her head on Mu Sichen's chest and held his back tightly with her fingers.

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't speak again.

Shen Xi knew that the powerful relationship between this could not be explained clearly in a few words.

After experiencing so much, Shen Xi also knew that Mu Sichen could not stay out of the matter.

Now comes the time when you have to choose.

She reached out and touched her belly.

"The baby and I will wait here for your safe return."

……

Mu Sichen only rested for one night and left.

Shen Xi stood at the gate, feeling sour in his heart. Now that he has left, he doesn't know when he will return.

……

The General's Mansion returned to its former deserted state. Everyone kept silent about where Mu Sichen had gone, but they mostly knew it in their hearts.

For a time, gunpowder smoke was everywhere on the border of Liangzhou.

As a prince, Prince Guangling naturally cannot stay out of this situation.

He used to deal with things passively, but now the situation is different.

When his son came back, he tried to push Shen Zhuo to be on his own, so that he could establish his own family in the future.

and…

If the Queen's side loses in the capital, he can only rely on his current strength to protect the people around him.

After Mu Sichen left, Shen Xi's days became like a year, and his mood was not high.

Shen Duo simply took her to the Guangling Palace, so that he could protect her, and on the other hand, there were many people in the palace, so he could relieve her boredom with her.

This was what Mu Sichen had agreed with him before he left.

After all, Shen Xi was still pregnant, and there were many variables involved in pregnancy and childbirth. It was better to be with her relatives at this time.

After Shen Xi arrived at the palace, she was particularly afraid of being alone with Shen Zhuo.

Fortunately, he didn't mention what he said that day again, which finally made Shen Xi feel more at ease.
